Meet Sepideh, currently residing in beautiful Dubai! Sepideh hadn't always loved her curls, and when she tried to, she was greeted with a sore and itchy scalp from experimenting with harsh bleaches. She now has gorgeous curls and a healthy scalp, here's how she did it!
The Journey
What inspired you to return natural?
Hello to all beautiful curly girls. My name is Sepideh, I am 29 and living in Dubai, I used to do keratin and straightening methods when I was younger as I did not like my curls. But a few years had passed and I matured. I started to believe that my natural curls were/are so pretty so I found out how I had to look after my curls. I started this journey by watching videos on youtube and instagram.
In the first days, I purchased some affordable products because I was not a master in styling, then a few months passed by and I got familiar with CG method which really helped me. Then I tried to buy some sulphate, Paraben, silicone free products. Afterwards, my hair becomes much healthier and shinier. But unfortunately on this way I suffered from dry and itchy scalp that this issue forced me to take shower everyday to feel better. Luckily I found the Flora & Curl page on instagram and I figured out they launched a new line which is officially for irritated scalp and I ordered Coconut Mint Scalp Refresh Pre-Shampoo Oil, Coconut Mint Scalp Refresh Shampoo and Coconut Mint Curl Refresh Conditioner, also Sweet Hibiscus Curl Activating Lotion, Sweet Hibiscus Curl Defining Gel and Sweet Hibiscus Curl Volumizing Foam. My scalp has gotten very soft and healthy after only one use of the mentioned products and I am really thankful to Flora & Curl for these amazing items.
What were the challenges (if any) along the way of your healthy hair journey?
My hair had become dry and unhealthy a few months ago - this was the result consistently bleaching and colouring my hair. I used to deep condition and treat my hair with hair masks, I was so upset with the result of my hair on wash day and my curl clumps got very small and frizzy after diffusing. I did a consultation with a professional hair stylist and he advised me to cut and trim my hair to reach to healthy hair. So I had my hair cut a few weeks ago and my hair has become very nice and nowadays my curls have become defined and pretty.
What is your number 1 curl tip?
My number 1 tip and trick for all curly girls is to do deep conditioning and always style on a soaking wet hair. This is because these method enhance your curls much better with minimal frizz.

I have fine, curly hair and it’s hard to find a product that doesn’t weigh it down. These products have been a game changer for me. It took about 2 times to figure out how much product (cream and gel) I needed to use, but once I figured it out, my hair was amazing!! I was able to use just the spray alone to refresh my hair 4 days in a row, which I never have been able to do! The shampoo and conditioner also really helped my dry, bleached hair become soft and not so tangled! I am in love with these products!
soft shiny curls that lasted a mosh-pit with no problem!
Love this. It feels light, didn’t notice a smell (and I have a problem with most scented things), lasted well and doesn’t feel like I’ve got anything in my hair - unlike most other products I’ve tried
I am really impressed by these products. I have always thought my hair was wavy-ish, but with these products, I have found my inner mermaid. My waves are defined and finally there's no frizz haunting my crown. Excellent products- there's no crunch or stickiness. My hair is super soft and lasts to the next day and beyond. Recommended to my Mum who also loves the kit, especially the refresh mist- and we never like the same curl products!
I used this with the matching conditioner and my experience was kind of dominated by how much I disliked the conditioner. The shampoo was but I wasn’t wowed by it. The fragrance was not strong. I won’t be getting this line again but I will try the citrus shampoo still. I love the Flora and Curl gel so much that I think it’s maybe just this particular product line that doesn’t work for me, not the brand.
